  • Patent number: 11538036
    Abstract: Transaction ID information corresponding to proof certificate-verifying transaction information is transmitted to a block chain retention server if a request for proof certificate information is sensed, when the proof certificate-verifying transaction information generated by using the proof certificate information, to be provided to a customer, is recorded in a block chain retention server and the transaction ID information is managed. The proof certificate-verifying transaction information corresponding to the transaction ID information is acquired from the block chain retention server. A proof certificate index hash value used for comparison, acquired from the proof certificate information to be provided to a customer and corresponding to a request, is compared with a proof certificate-verifying index hash value acquired from the proof certificate verifying-transaction information.
